freeflir29 0 #1 October 17, 2002 Well....I just got off the phone with my attorney. Good News: I may actually get a trial date tomorrow. She feels confident that the judge will give me custody when that trial occurs. Bad news: It'll be about year..... Hmmm...does 5 FUCKING years seem a little long to get a modification of custody hearing to anyone else? Does 5 Fucking years seem a little long for the State of Tennessee to leave a child in the hands of a convicted felon? Convicted on Class D Felony aggravated Child abuse at that? I really don't have much to say other than WTFO??? Who else thinks I should sue every agency and state entity that contibuted to this mess? I guess on the bright side I can see the smallest shimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. I'm sure someone will slam the door shut momentarily.

happythoughts 0 #6 October 17, 2002 Tell your attorney "I appreciate you efforts, but they just aren't getting me anywhere and I may be pursuing other options. A year is too late.If you can't get a court date in 3 months, I am going to get anotherattorney. I'll have a year to do it." Say it politely. Light a fire under them. After a year of jerking around, I told my attorney he had two weeks toget it done or I was gone. No more attorney fees. Out of state. That Friday, "They want to meet and settle next Friday." I doesn't sound like it can get any worse. Get it done so you can move on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deuce 1 #7 October 17, 2002 It is a long time, and it is a f*cked up deal, Clay. I figure you're just venting steam about suing, but resist. An important element of your background investigation is whether you are a party to any lawsuits. Get your new gig, get off probation and then let loose if you're still pissed. Stay frosty. Udaman.

freeflir29 0 #8 October 17, 2002 Quote Tell your attorney "I appreciate you efforts Actually....I have already fired one a few months ago and I'm on my second one for THIS case. She told me that I could go to court by January if I wanted to file in Circuit Court instead of Chancellory. The only bad thing about that is....who knows what judge I will get. I know this judge...so does my attorney. The judge also knows my ex-wife and doesn't like her much. This judge has already heard mountains of the crap my ex has put me through and ruled STEARNLY in my favor the last time I was in her court room. I would rather wait one more year and be safe than try to get it done quickly and possibly lose my advantages. I only get one chance to do this right. I have waited this long...I don't want to get in a rush and screw it up now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jraf 0 #9 October 17, 2002 Clay, Bill (happythoughts) is completely right. Tell the bitch (I mean lawyer) that she has a limited lifespan with you if she don't get results. Over last weekend I spoke with Terrasino, who is a lawyer. Quote: "In a divorce the lawyers are the winners. They take your money and then go together to have a laugh and a beer." Don't let your lawyer bitch have that beer. You are the customer: DEMAND performance. If not, Get the Fuck Out. Streets are lined with lawyers.jraf Me Jungleman! Me have large Babalui.

Not a worry. Just waiting on the "adjudication" process as far as I know. However the hell long that takes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vance 0 #13 October 17, 2002 Hang in there man. I just went thru the same crap and it all turned out good ('cept I didn't have to wait a year, only a couple months). Your kid will be with you before you know it. The good thing is, even if it takes time before a trial, if the ex screws up, she'll really get hammered at the trial. All the best man!

Enrique 0 #14 October 17, 2002 I know this judge...so does my attorney. The judge also knows my ex-wife and doesn't like her much. This judge has already heard mountains of the crap my ex has put me through and ruled STEARNLY in my favor the last time I was in her court room. Quote Then try holding your breath a little longer. You've come this far (from what I hear), and, take it from me [I'm a lawyer]: if the Judge is a female, and she already doesn't like your ex, you are already on the other side. That's just the way it works with female judges. I would rather wait one more year and be safe than try to get it done quickly and possibly lose my advantages. I only get one chance to do this right. I have waited this long...I don't want to get in a rush and screw it up now.*** That's the smart thing to do. Stay focused on your main objective; don't lose sight of it; fend off whatever bs is thrown at you but never, ever lose sight of what's really important to you. Good luck, Clay.

Well...not including some paperwork that I HAVE to have taken care of this weekend. So....now I get to drive an hour or more back home in the wrong direction to get it. Damn I'm a dumbass sometimes. Oh well...it's Friday...with perfect blue skies. I have a 12 pack of Rolling Rock in the cooler. Jump money in my pocket. Life is good.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeflir29 0 #25 October 18, 2002 QuoteIf the 50/50 law were in place at LEAST he would start on EVEN ground Actually in Tennessee they have a law that is just a couple years old now. It doesn't specify any certain amount of time but it does require that anyone who wants to get divorced must also file a "Parenting Plan" with the dissolution of marriage paperwork. It's a pretty detailed plan and covers all the stuff like holidays, weekends, medical coverage, etc. Before (Like when I got divorced) all that stuff was just blowing in the wind.
